DSL Cable or whatever - 12/16/07 03:21 PM
I downloaded BIAB day before yesterday on my old IBM 600 at one coffee shop in Grand Junction that was 26.6 kb per sec. I had to shut down and loose everything after 2 hours because they were closing.
Yesterday I downloaded at a coffe shop near my home and it was at 160 kb per sec. This only took 23 minutes. The file is 159MB. BIAB doesn't work very good on my old computer.
So, today I bought a new computer from Best Buy. The coffe shop near my home is closed, so I'm back in town at a third coffee shop and it is downloading as I type at 60.5 kb per sec.
It's obvious that all DSL Cable or whatever is not the same. If ever I decide to get DSL,Cable or whatever, What will I need to know to figure out which is the fastest?
